omg yes! the poop is INTENSE! Mine once had a THREE FOOT POOP O.O It was so big, and I was doing so many water changes just to suck up his massive amounts of poops. I also feed mine a lot though, He would get cucumber, and I put in a lot of extra cichlid pellets because he would swim up and eat them all. they also grow really well if you feed them blanched broccoli.
